BCG Attorney Search Reviews

I really liked the recruiter I worked with and her experience and I appreciated her ability to guide me through the process. I really helps to narrow your search down to jobs that are a fit for what you are looking for. BCG is the best recruiting firm I have ever worked with.

I liked the frequency and competence of communication. Working with BCG made my job search easier because it made me aware of the opportunities available.The first three words that come to mind when I think of BCG are promptness, respect, and efficiency.I would rank BCG pretty highly compared to other recruiting companies I have worked with, and I would recommend you favorably to one of my peers.

With respect to my legal placement professional specifically, I think she was very responsive, she was very proactive and seems like I got her attention and she was out there looking for opportunities for me. She was in a difficult position in part because I was working with 2 search firms before I touched base with her, so a lot of the obvious firms and opportunities were already being pursued by 2 other firms, so I wasn't expecting much, but I think she did a great job in thinking beyond the obvious opportunities and a little outside of the box, so to speak. I also wanted to mention that I appreciate the resources, brochures and publications by Harrison that provided a lot of insight in terms of interview tips and search strategies and things like that, which I found very valuable and was not something I was getting from the other 2 search firms that I had been working with. You guys handled a lot of the aspects of the logistics of setting up the interviews and getting quick feedback after interviews, definitely scouring the firms and opportunities available. In southern California, one thing that she did that I was not doing, was looking a little beyond LA which is where I was and was looking and I ended up in Orange Country which I am very happy about, so that was one thing that she did that definitely made things easier for me and ultimately more productive from the perspective of 1, getting to meet more firms and 2, finding the place I really liked the best. I have worked with a few search firms in the past, when I moved from DC to LA, but I really feel like BCG was really the best go to in terms of picking up a tough situation where I was already working with 2 search firms and thinking what value could they add at that point, also, the resources as I said, a lot of this is of Harrisons opinions and views on things which I talked about with my legal placement professional, whether he is right or wrong about these things, it's really good and valuable to have that view in the middle of the search process in terms of what the firms are looking for, what you should be looking for, what you should be thinking about, that to me really puts BCG above others and just based on the spring of this year, I was looking at so many different firms and job postings and it seems like BCG had so much more in terms of job postings and opportunities and contact.

My legal placement professional was extremely helpful and considerate of my time and the need to discreetly navigate this process around my current work schedule. She was incredibly responsive and candid in her responses. My legal placement professional was also very relatable, which made it easy to build rapport and work together with her. BCG allowed me to continue to focus on my work, while making background strides in my job search. It is difficult to search for a job while working full-time, and I don't think I would be anywhere near my current situation had it not been for BCG and my legal placement professional. In this current job search, I had exposure to other recruiters, and none of them were as helpful, responsive and genuine as my legal placement professional. Thanks again for everything BCG and my legal placement professional did in helping me to take this next step in my career and life!

BCG is prompt and responsive and within less than a day of me talking to my legal placement professional, she had already gotten me with the firms to target and started doing research for me. The speed was important because I was on a really short time table. I had let her know that, and she jumped right into action and was super responsive and prompt. She reviewed my materials and gave them some thought and quickly got them out there as soon as I got them back to her. She identified a really good opportunity and jumped on it and ended up working out. Working with her took all of the footwork that I would have had to do in terms of researching what firms to target, applying to those firms, which is the big thing, you know filling out all of the many page long combo box drop down to plug in your education and all of that like you do when you apply directly like through a website. I didn't have to do any of that. I just sent her my materials and she took it from there. I have only talked with 1 other recruiter and she was fine as well, but she didn't seem to know the market as well. I feel like with my legal placement professional, she had a much better handle on the firms in that location and firms that would be good targets for me. My confidence level with my legal placement professional was very important for me.

[My favorite things about working with BCG were] the regular weekly updates and information. Other people, you contact them and you don't hear back from them for weeks. [BCG] basically went out and found the opportunities for me, in every way, rather than me going out and having to do all the work. [BCG was] helpful. You're the only ones that got me an opportunity, so [I would rank you] first [compared to other recruiters]. [I would describe BCG as] useful, helpful, [and] a company that helped me find what I needed and what I was looking for.

One of my favorite things about working with BCG was the personalized attention. It may sound cliche, but I have worked with some other recruiters, but my legal placement professional was phenomenal. She tailored searches to what we talked about. Overall she was very, very responsive to what I wanted.Working with BCG made my job search easier in every way. My legal placement professional took over the job of looking, submitting me to places, and following up. It was very helpful time management wise.The first words that come to mind when I think of BCG are outstanding and personalized.I would rank BCG at the top when compared to other recruiting companies I have worked with.How would I describe BCG to a peer of mine? I would tell them that if they are serious about wanting to find a new position that they should go and see you guys.

My legal placement professional was really responsive and really transparent, like I felt like I was talking to a friend rather than being interviewed by a potential employer, it was more like she was like by buddy and she was there to help me and she was really transparent about any questions that I had and that was really refreshing. I think one huge thing that helped make my job search easier was having a very streamlined online system where I could go through on my own time and research the firms and approve or decline and then having the whole actual application and cover letter process taken off my hands saved a ton of time. BCG is definitely the best, and I have probably worked with 6 or 7 over the years.

My legal placement professional was just great, from the intake and talking with me about opportunities and tidying up my resume to my experience and the negotiations, it was really great dealing with her! You essentially took care of everything. Helping with the pre-process of ensuring I was showing all of my qualifications and skills in the best possible way. [She made it easier by] searching for positions that would be best for me and making those arrangements. During the offer of employment and those negotiations and conversations she worked directly with the firm for me so it was very good. I didn't have to do much on my end except communicate with my legal placement professional and obviously do the interviews and stuff, but other than that BCG handled everything so that was great!Q. Where would we rank amongst other recruiting company's?A. I have not used anyone other than BCG in the past but in putting myself out there for a new position I did get called by recruiters from other firms and I would have to say that I prefer BCG over the other firms. You seem to have it more together in terms of really looking out for the candidate you are working with and trying to look at various positions. Also, working with candidate to have them present themselves the best possible way they can. I didn't necessarily get that feeling from the other 2 or 3 recruiting firms that I spoke to.

I thought the process was really easy. I was connected to someone who was in my current region, but because I was looking outside of my region, they assigned my legal placement professional from the west coast, and I had an east coast and south area recruiter and I really liked that they worked together and kept each other up to date. I felt like they were more on top of it than I was a lot of the time and she was awesome. She was really responsive, she was able to do a lot via text which made it really easy to communicate with her during the day. Email is great, but the firm I worked for doesn't let us have our personal email when we are in the office. She was really nice and I got my dream job and I really appreciate all of her hard work. I felt like I didn't have to do much other than to send you my resume and some requested information and then BCG did the rest of the work. They communicated directly with the employers, they got me the leads of the places where openings were and set up the interviews, and they also dealt with the correspondence after. They just made it so that my work was really minimal. I haven't worked with any other recruiters, but I found you because you were ranked as the number one legal recruiting services. Everyone was really awesome to work with. Karen was my point of contact for the Midwest and legal placement professional for East Coast and South. They were all really great and I really appreciate everyone. I am really excited to start my next adventure and I wouldn't have had the time or resources to do it by myself.
